Officials have announced Saturday's Texas Tech football game in Manhattan, Kan., a sellout, but about 100 general admission tickets remained as of 11 a.m. Monday, and about 2,000 tickets remained for the next home game when the Red Raiders host Texas.

No. 4 Kansas State entertains No. 15 Texas Tech on Saturday for its homecoming football game.

The Red Raiders are back at home Nov. 3, when they take on Texas.

About 400 of the general admission/standing-room-only tickets for Saturday's game have been sold, and Kansas State expects to cap them at 500, said Kenny Lannou, assistant athletic director for communications at Kansas State, Monday morning.

Tech (6-1, 3-1 in the Big 12 Conference) will take on an undefeated Kansas State (7-0, 4-0) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

The $55 tickets are for the grassy hill in the northeast corner of the stadium. The tickets may be purchased online at kstatesports.com, or by phone at 1-800-221-2287 while they remain available.

Tech Associate Athletic Director for Ticket Operations Erik Book said Tech expects next week's Texas game to sell out, but it's too early to gauge when that will happen.

"We were hoping to get a game time today and help drive some sales with that," he said. "However, we were given a six-day window, so we'll find out on Sunday."

The game could be played at 11 a.m., 2, 2:30 or 7 p.m.

The theme of the Nov. 3 game is Texas Pride.

The Red Raiders last took on the Longhorns at home in 2010.

That game did not sell out, Book said. About 59,000 tickets were sold.

Official capacity of Jones AT&T Stadium is 60,298. Additional seats have been opened in the past in the north end zone to accommodate student overflow.

More than 12,500 seats are available for students, not including the grassy area in the north end zone.

Tickets for the Texas game can be purchased online at texastech.com/tickets or by calling 742-8324.
